'JACKRABBIT' WROUGHT-IRON FIGURAL ASH STAND
PROBABLY BY MARY COULTER OR THOMAS MOLESWORTH, CIRCA 1925-1935
In the form of a jackrabbit raised on hind legs, holding a removable ashtray
35½in. (90.1cm) high
Cf. Virginia L. Grattan, Mary Colter, Builder Upon the Red Earth, Northland Press, Arizona, 1980, p. 53 for an illustration of a similar example
The George Sumers commission for the Old Lodge, Glenwood Springs, Colorado may be the first pictoral record of Molesworth's use of these whimsical sculptures of jackrabbits and burros. The authorship of these works is less clear as these designs are known in other interiors of the 1920's and 1930's.
